April 26th, 2008 at the TELUS Convention Centre, Calgary, AB
On Saturday, April 26th, 2008, from 9:00am to 4:00pm, the Calgary Homeless Foundation will be hosting Project Homeless Connect, a one day event at the TELUS Convention Centre that will bring together over 50 service agencies and organizations and more than 300 volunteers, to deliver services to over 500 homeless individuals in Calgary. Calgary is a large and busy city and accessing services is often one of the principle challenges faced by homeless individuals. Project Homeless Connect will eliminate that challenge by bringing the services together under one roof. Based on a program currently being implemented in over 130 cities around the world, Project Homeless Connect is about delivering services on site the day of the event. Individuals will have access to medical services, mental health and addictions counseling, housing, obtaining identification documents, income support, employment opportunities, comfort kits containing personal items, hot meals, clothing and more.
